BOOK REVIEW: Gluten-Free Cooking by Lyndel Costain and
Joanna Farrow
Food allergies and intolerances are something that we
ourselves experience or have seen before. Discomfort of all sorts are caused
from severe headaches, hives, seizures and in some serious cases even death.
One of the most common is gluten intolerance (the inability of a person to
digest gluten in wheat products).
Having a gluten intolerance needn’t mean missing out on your
favourite foods. This collection of delicious recipes provides easy-to-make
alternatives to foods such as pasta, bread, pastry and cakes.
This book explains celiac disease in simple terms including
symptoms, medical treatment and dietary considerations.
Besides that, there is plenty of expert advice on
maintaining a balanced diet, with menu planners to help you prepare every meal
from a quick snack to a family dinner.
If going gluten-free seems daunting due to the seemingly few
choices of delicious eats, push those morbid thoughts away. Gluten-Free Cooking
offers over 60 nutritionally analysed recipes, from mouthwatering treats such
as Thai Coconut Chicken and Strawberry Meringue Roulade, to kids’ favourites
like Potato Pizza Margherita and Rainbow Lollies.
Being intolerant of gluten doesn’t mean your life is over. With
the help of this book and plenty of research, you will have a dinner table for
a king without spending hours on the throne (ermmm...you get what I mean) after
eating gluten just because you feel there is no food in the world without it.
So put a smile on that face and get cooking!
